Cobden-Sanderson commissioned the Doves type, based on those used by Nicolas Jensen in the 15th century, and all books produced by the press between 1900-1916 used this type. It is generally thought that the Doves Bible was the greatest masterpiece of the Doves Press. It was issued in five volumes between 1903-1905 to a keen list of subscribers. Each volume of the Bible contains a large number of hand-lettered initials and is a fine example of the use of calligraphy and typography. The print run sold out by the time printing ended. As soon as Walker and Cobden-Sanderson issued volume five in June 1905 they announced that the Doves Bible, like all other previous Doves Press editions, was out of print.
